18. Chapter XVIII
The door that had been closed suddenly opened again, and the cool breeze of the night poured in, blowing the pages of the book that Ye Xiangshen had copied on the table flying around.
Ye Xiangshen put down the medicine in his hand, got up to pick up those pages, but he only picked up a few, and saw a figure come forward, leaned over to pick up one of them for him, and handed it back to him. Luo Yi didn't know why she went and returned, she smiled at Ye Xiangshen: "I can't sleep, can you talk with me for a while?"
Ye Xiang lowered his eyes and picked up all the pages, and said while tidying up: "It's very late at night, if you don't rest early, tomorrow will be very hard." β
"What is this?" Just as Ye Xiangshen was sorting out the pages of the book over there, Luo Yi saw the pill on the table, and she was about to twist it up, but was stopped by Ye Xiangshen and said, "Healer." β
"Oh. Luo Yi seemed to respond casually, but Ye Xiangshen turned her back to her, and couldn't see the complicated feelings on her face, she stared at Ye Xiangshen's back tightly, and said indifferently: "I remember that Xiaojiu gave you a decoction of medicine, and the two medicines can't be mixed, so don't take this medicine." β
Ye Xiangshen put back the pages that had been arranged, pressed them gently, and turned around and sighed: "Miss Luo, it's time for me to rest." β
Luo Yi sat down at the table, pillowed his chin with both hands, lay on the table and looked at Ye Xiangshen, opened his eyes and said, "You sleep, I'll stay in your room for a while." β
Ye Xiangshen: "......"
Luo Yi didn't care what he wanted, he only said to himself: "Today I took the people of the Prince of Jinyang to the Jun'an Inn, but I didn't find anyone in the inn, and I asked the people in the inn, and they said that the person left the room last night." Later, the prince sent someone to investigate, and the Luo family was also investigating, and found that the person named Luo Wen took Xie Rong away, and the two of them went to Chengguo together, but they didn't go far, and someone found that they settled in Xicheng, which is not far from here, and we are now sending people to chase it, and I don't know if there can be a result. β
Luo Yi said this in one breath, Ye Xiangshen listened quietly, and after Luo Yi finished speaking, he couldn't help but say again: "You and the prince are old acquaintances, right?"
Ye Xiangshen still didn't respond, and Luo Yi continued: "The prince said that he would personally hunt down Xie Rong and Luo Wen tomorrow, do you know why?"
"I don't know. Ye Xiangshen finally responded.
Luo Yi smiled helplessly: "Because they have found out, although Luo Wen is from Jingcheng, but this time he did not come on the orders of the city lord of Jingcheng, he came here for one thing, that is, to bring back the Seven Princes of their Chengguo." β
Ye Xiangshen's eyes finally had some affection.
Luo Yi didn't care about Ye Xiangshen ignoring himself, and said it all in one go: "The city lord of Lucheng is not the son of the old city lord, but the son of the emperor of Chengguo, how many people can expect this kind of thing?" She couldn't help laughing, but her eyes were full of frost, "Emperor Chengguo is dead, at the beginning, several princes fought with each other, but now they are almost dead after the war, and there are not many who can inherit the throne, and several old ministers are unwilling to let their three princes succeed to the throne, so they came up with this method and took Xie Rong back." β
"I only know this today. Luo Yi said in a deep voice, "But yesterday, I personally sent Xie Rong to see Luo Wen." β
No one could have expected this change.
Ye Xiangshen persuaded in a low voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, Xie Rong has a heart for Chengguo, so no matter what, he will always go." β
"He has his options and I can't say anything more. Luo Yi's voice also softened, she stared at Ye Xiangshen, her voice was less capable and decisive than usual, and became soft, "But I just can't get angry, and it's uncomfortable." β
Ye Xiangshen was slightly stunned, Luo Yi probably didn't know that when she said this, there was still a trace of grievance.
It seems that there are indeed many things that make her feel bad during the day, but when she came just now, she didn't say a word, just cared about him vigorously, and changed her ways to make him happy.
Ye Xiangshen also sat back in front of Luo Yi and whispered: "If it is better to say it, you can sue me." β
But Ye Xiangshen didn't expect that it would be okay if he didn't say this, as soon as he said it, Luo Yi stood up. She stared straight at Ye Xiangshen with both eyes, and said in a low voice: "But if you die, who will I sue for these words?"
Ye Xiangshen fell silent.
Luo Yi endured it for so long, but finally couldn't hold it back, and said: "The medicine you were going to take just now was β‘β‘, right?
"You've been out there just now. Ye Xiangshen was exposed and did not panic, but only calmly stated this fact.
"yes, I'm not at ease, so I've been watching you out there. Luo Yi propped his hand on the table, leaned over to look at Ye Xiangshen, who was still sitting upright, and felt that this person looked like an old monk who had seen through the red dust at some times, how to look at it made people angry, "Your house has been specially cleaned up, you told Xiaojiu that you don't have to get up early in the morning to boil hot water for you, and you also entrusted Tuan Tuan to me, you have done so many things, if I can't see that there is a problem, I am really stupid!"
Ye Xiangshen had turned into a silent log at this moment, and Luo Yiwu said to himself: "I don't care what the prince wants, anyway, I don't allow you to die, no one wants to touch you!"
Ye Xiang sighed: "Xiaoyi." β
The two of them finished talking, and there was another noise in the night. The two of them looked out of the door almost at the same time, and as the cool breeze poured into the house, two figures also came here, these two people, a man and a woman, came in a hurry, Luo Yi saw the people clearly, and recognized them as the two guards beside the prince. Luo Yi was already in a bad mood, and when she saw the two of them coming, she directly pulled out the long sword from her waist, and in the flash of the sword, her sword blade had already fallen on the neck of one of them. "If you want to kill Ye Xiangshen, you have to ask me first. β
The person who was pointed at by Luo Yi with a sword was one of the men, he was slightly stunned, as if he had just figured out what Luo Yi meant, he smiled bitterly, and gently raised his hand to remove the sword in Luo Yi's hand, who knew that Luo Yi's hand holding the sword was extremely stable, and he couldn't move away for a while, so he could only look at the woman beside him for help. The woman also glanced at Ye Xiangshen with some surprise, and then said, "Luo family master, please put down the sword, we are here to ask you for your help, Luo family master." β
"No, I don't. Luo Yi was straightforward.
The man opened his mouth and didn't speak, but the woman said again: "The prince was assassinated and injured, do you really care, Luo family master?"
Luo Yi's face changed slightly, put down the long sword in his hand, and finally put away Fang Cai's unreasonable look, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
The two guards were able to tell the whole story, there was a letter from Lucheng, the prince of Jinyang went to pick up the letter, but unexpectedly encountered an assassination, and what people didn't expect was that the assassin of the prince was not a bystander, it was a shadow who was hidden in the shadows and followed the prince.
Shadow Shar has received the most rigorous training since childhood, and has been loyal to the prince all his life, this time the prince brought three Shadow Shales with him, but he didn't expect one of them to turn against each other at a critical moment, if it weren't for the other two desperate to protect each other, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable. Hearing what the two said, Luo Yi said again: "How is the prince's injury?"
"That sword was aimed directly at the heart and lungs, but fortunately it was avoided, but the wound was not shallow, and it had to be well rested. The female escort said.
Luo Yi nodded lightly and said, "Take me to see." "The sudden betrayal of the party in the shadow is indeed very strange, Luo Yi knows that this matter is not simple, and he has to meet Li Jinyang before talking.
The purpose of the two of them this time was to ask Luo Yi for help, so they naturally nodded and agreed, but who knew that Luo Yi had just taken a step with the two of them, so he stood up again, turned around and grabbed Ye Xiangshen's wrist, and said seriously: "You go with me." She really didn't worry about letting Ye Xiangshen be here alone, if she didn't look at him, maybe he would swallow the medicine again in a while. Ye Xiangshen moved his wrist slightly, as if he wanted to break away, but after only two struggles, the woman next to him said, "It just so happens that you should come with us." β
Ye Xiangshen stopped his movements when he heard this, and let Luo Yi pull him towards the prince.
The prince lives in Luo's house, and this time he went outside to get injured because of the letter, and when Luo Yi arrived, there was already a large group of people standing outside the prince's room, and Nantang and Beiyan saw Luo Yi coming, and hurriedly greeted him. Luo Yi also had a little squirrel lying on his shoulder, dragging a leaf Xiangshen in his hand, everyone was slightly surprised when he saw it, but Luo Yi didn't seem to see everyone's strange gaze, and only asked directly how the situation was, Nantang said: "I just asked the doctor to see it, the injury is not serious, but I have to rest in bed for two days." β
"Hmm. Luo Yi casually agreed, and ordered everyone to take good care of the prince, at this time the two royal guards had already entered the house, and after a while, they walked out of the door, and the woman said to Luo Yi: "Luo family master, the prince has something to say to you." β
Luo Yi had already guessed that the prince must have other things to do when he came to her, so she nodded and agreed, but before entering the house, she sent Ye Xiangshen to Nantang and Beiyan, "Look at him." β
Nantang and Beiyan have been teased by the little nerd since many years ago, and they have accumulated a lot of resentment against this person.
"......," Luo Yi said, "who let you hold him!
Nantang and Beiyan looked at each other, and hurriedly let go of the person again: "Oh." β
Luo Yi said: "Look at him, don't let him do anything stupid." β
Ye Xiangshen stood quietly, although he didn't look like he would do something stupid, Nantang Beiyan still agreed, and Luo Yi went to Li Jinyang's room with confidence.
The smell of blood in the house has almost gone, the faint fragrance of medicine is diffused in the air, the wounds on Li Jinyang's body have already been bandaged properly, he is only wearing a loose thin coat and a robe, his face has lost its blood, but it still does not lose his grace. Even Luo Yi had to sigh, even in this situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still graceful and noble, not even half a wolf.
"Master Luo. Li Jinyang's voice was low and a little hoarse, and he motioned for Luo Yi to sit down, and Luo Yi sat down on the stool opposite him before he continued: "You must only know a lot about the shadow evil." β
Luo Yi's eyes were slightly gloomy, she didn't expect Li Jinyang to directly bring up this matter, she was about to prevaricate, but she heard Li Jinyang continue: "I know that you have investigated a lot of things about the shadow evil, so it is better for this matter to be handled by you." β
Luo Yi felt as if the whole world knew that she was investigating the shadow in the past few days, and she didn't know where this rumor had leaked from, but the sources of the news from these two parties were probably from the same place. Luo Yi couldn't deny it, so he could only respond silently, and Li Jinyang said: "The Shadow Sha is related to too many secrets of the royal family, and now that a Shadow Sha has betrayed, I don't know if there will be more Shadow Sha who will betray, so the Shadow Sha who escaped must be removed immediately." β
Hearing Li Jinyang's words, Luo Yi probably guessed what he meant, and sure enough, Li Jinyang coughed lightly and said: "Since the Luo family master has checked the matter about the shadow sha, he should also know them very well, I want to ask the Luo family master to go for me and get rid of the fleeing shadow shale." β
Luo Yi looked at Li Jinyang directly, and did not respond, Li Jinyang lightly called Luo Yi's name, and Luo Yi finally spoke: "I really don't know, prince, are you testing me, or trust me too much." β
Since Li Jinyang knew that Luo Yi had been investigating Shadow Sha all along, he must have known the grudge between Luo Yi and Ying Sha, and now that he made such a request, he didn't know what his intentions were.
Li Jinyang said: "Now that I am injured and cannot handle this matter personally, the situation is complicated, only you can help me here." β
No matter what the other party's intentions are in doing this, the person who opened this mouth is the current prince, and Luo Yi has no room to refuse. She got up and said, "Luo Yi takes orders, Your Highness, you take care of your injuries." β
Luo Yi was about to leave, but she had just arrived at the door of the house, and before she could push the door, Li Jinyang suddenly said: "The head of the Luo family." β
"Your Highness?"
Li Jinyang finally hesitated for a moment, and he said after a while: "Ye Xiangshen ......"
"Alive. Luo Yi couldn't calm down this time, she turned back to Li Jinyang and said, "Your Highness, I don't care what he did in the past, what reason he has to die, what is there to help him bear." β
Hearing the news that Ye Xiangshen was still alive, Li Jinyang's expression couldn't tell whether he was worried or relieved, he only groaned for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "I have something to talk to him." β
"You ......" Luo Yi refused, Li Jinyang and Ye Xiangshen couldn't meet each other, Ye Xiangshen began to commit suicide by taking poison, if he talked a few more times, maybe something would happen.
Fortunately, Li Jinyang seemed to have anticipated Luo Yi's worries, and said without waiting for her to finish: "I won't take his life, don't worry, the head of the Luo family." β
Li Jinyang is famous, since he said so, he naturally will not sink his hand on Ye Xiang, Luo Yi was a little relieved, although he was still reluctant, he still called Ye Xiang to sink for Li Jinyang. Ye Xiangshen was not surprised to hear that the prince wanted to see him, he went all the way into the house, closed the door, and the whole room was isolated from the sound outside. The weather was still cold, and there was some charcoal fire burning in the house, but no one was taking care of it at this time, and it was about to be extinguished, and the last temperature was lost. Before Ye Xiangshen could speak after entering the house, Li Jinyang called his name: "Ye Xiangshen." β
"This is the first time Your Highness has called me by that name. Ye Xiang shook the coals and glanced at Li Jinyang again, "Your Highness is not lightly injured, you should lie down and rest." β
Li Jinyang was not in the mood to lie down, he said: "This is your real name?"
"Hmm. Ye Xiangshen nodded.
Li Jinyang chuckled lightly and muttered, "For so many years, I'm afraid I've never understood you." When he said this, he raised his eyes and looked into Ye Xiangshen's eyes, "But you are the one who knows me best." β
"Your Highness doesn't need to know an insignificant person. β
Li Jinyang said: "The aftermath left by the previous generation of shadows has appeared, I should have thought that there would be this day, and I should have done it a long time ago to prevent future troubles." β
Ye Xiangshen glanced out of the window, but the doors and windows of the house were tightly closed, and he couldn't see what the sky was outside, Ye Xiangshen lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's almost dawn, Your Highness, I have to leave." β
"Ye Xiangshen. Li Jinyang stopped him, his expression was calm, but there was a spark in his eyes, "I can't die yet, and you can't die either." βγ
Just when Ye Xiangshen and Li Jinyang said these words, Luo Yi had already begun to search for the traces of the fleeing shadow, the Luo family's intelligence network has always been strong, and she had already found clues in a short time, the direction that the person fled was the same as Luo Wen, he was going to Chengguo, but he was a shadow, and naturally knew how to hide, and the spies sent two completely different pieces of information, one said that he left from Xicheng in the west, and the other was from Wucheng in the south, the two roads are far apart, if you chase the wrong direction, it is impossible to find that person againγ
There could be no mistake in this section, so Luo Yi had to ask someone to investigate it more carefully, and when she had told all these things, she realized that a morning light had risen in the sky, and half of the sky was clear and translucent. She hadn't slept all night, and she didn't feel sleepy at this time. Thinking that Ye Xiangshen and Li Jinyang should have talked about it at this time, Luo Yi went to Li Jinyang again.
It's just that when she went, Li Jinyang had already rested, and several guards were guarding the door, saying that Ye Xiangshen had just left not long ago, and he should have returned to the academy. Luo Yi hurriedly chased to the academy again, but he didn't expect to see Ye Xiangshen swallowing a pill with tea.
"What are you doing!" Luo Yi rushed over without thinking about it, knocked down the cup in his hand, grabbed his arm and said, "You ate?! Vomit it out! You have nothing to eat indiscriminately! Who will allow you to eat!"
Seeing that Luo Yi had already used all his strength, Ye Xiang smiled lightly and spread out his palm to Luo Yi.
There was also a pill in his palm, which exuded a pungent smell, and at first glance he knew that it was highly poisonous.
A person next to him also said: "He didn't eat β‘β‘, you can rest assured." β
Luo Yi reacted immediately, she looked back, and saw that the male guard was sitting diagonally on the willow tree in the courtyard of the academy, hearing what the man said, Luo Yi's hanging heart finally let go, but then another question came up, she looked at Ye Xiangshen: "Then what kind of medicine are you taking?"
